Work URL The URL of the original work, included as an HTML link. <a href="http://sallypryor.com/works/tunis.html">http://sallypryor.com/works/tunis.html</a> Artist Statement A statement about the work, as provided by the artist(s). Postcard from Tunis is not an objective documentary (if such a thing actually exists). Instead, it's a playful, artistic exploration of writing: its histories, its inscriptions, its relationships with pictures and its relevance to the human-computer interface. This is set in a very personal, audiovisual portrait of Tunis, the capital of Tunisia. This is a city and culture that I love, and the home of my former family-in-law. I programmed the unique interface so that it echoes an actual visit, where you can't help learning a few Tunisian words and with time, maybe starting to read written Arabic. Although it was designed for adults, children have shown a strong affinity with the CD-ROM and the interface is bilingual in English and French. <a href="http://sallypryor.com/works/tunis/details.html">Excerpt from author's website</a> Source of Artist Statement The source of information included in the Artist Statement, included as an HTML link to the relevant URL where possible. <a href="http://sallypryor.com/works/tunis/details.html">Excerpt from author's website</a> Genre Interactive multimedia Platform Software platform or means of display e.g Installation / YouTube / HTML / Flash / Twitter / QuickTime CD ROM Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
